- Lawless, is the true story of the Bondurant Brothers and their bootlegging business in prohibition era Virginia. Lawless has its moments with a top notch cast, but is not up to par with Hillcoat's previous work. The film is somewhat disjointed, entertaining at times and then flat in stretches.

Aug 29, 2012 · Written by. Nick Cave. "Lawless" is a well-made film about ignorant and violent people. Like the recent "Killer Joe," I can only admire this film's craftsmanship and acting, and regret its failure to rise above them. Its characters live by a barbaric code that countenances murder.

Aug 28, 2012 · Lawless review. Matt reviews John Hillcoat's Lawless starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska, and Jessica Chastain.
Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, and Shia Laboeuf (the good Shia Laboeuf) all star in this true-story-based gangster tale. As a result, Lawless is cliché-free, fast, and violent - yet it doesn't take itself too seriously.
